We had another long drive today but were very happy to set up camp on the river and start collecting fire wood for roasting marshmallows tonight. We collected a lot of wood and then got the fire going. We enjoyed just sitting around, watching the fire and looking at the stars in the sky. We even saw a couple of satellites go by.

Tomorrow we are planning on going canoeing. They have a shed with a few canoes and paddles, so hopefully we can have a paddle on the river in the morning.

DAY 2:
The canoe cost nothing to hire today, so we walked 20 m from our van, put on our life jackets, found some paddles and off we went. We had a great time paddling down the river. I went with Dad and sand as he paddled

After a quick shop to get some more food in the afternoon, we started the fire again. Amazingly, it was still hot enough from last night and all we had to do was throw in a piece of paper and the coals caught alight!

We started the fire at about 2:45 and sat around it until dinner. For dinner we roasted potatoes in the hot coals of the fire – they tasted yummy! We ate dinner inside, but then had our ice creams that we had bought from the shop, back out at the fire.
